Just Don't

I hired Josh Northam expecting him to be my advocate.I feel he was very weak with the mediator, a retired judge of his choosing, as well as with the opposing attorney. I trusted Mr. Northam to review all documents from opposing council and correct poorly worded or untrue statements before having me s...ign off on them. I was shocked and angered when a document from opposing attorney had a bold face lie and was passed to me to sign. I feel Mr. Northam should have objected to it, sent it back, and at very least know how I would react to such and untruth 9 months into the divorce. Yes. That's right. 9 months and $30,000 for an uncomplicated (one house paid in full, no debt) divorce. Feeling very let down.

Great Lawyer!!

Mr. Northam did a fantastic job on our case. He was very thorough and aggressive in getting the job done. He was excellent at seeing that we were top priority.

Honest and trustworthy!!

Josh helped me with both my divorce, and custody modification. He helped guide me, and fought for the best interest of my kids. During my modification, he stayed late with me and made sure every detail was notated. He’s not one to rush through a case just to finalize a piece of paper. Will always rec...ommend Josh!!

Josh will become your lifeline.

I was going through a very messy divorce when I sought out better representation. Almost a day didn't go by that I did not rely on Josh and his wonderful paralegal Sara to help me understand the legal process of divorce. Josh took the time to explain in detail the process and if he felt it was not ...a good decision he would tell me. I needed a lawyer who was ready to fight. My divorce was in it's 7 month and I was on my second lawyer when Josh was recommended to me by a friend. Immediately I felt at ease, I finally found a lawyer that not only would speed this along but would get me everything that I and my children deserved. I felt confident that Josh would do the right thing for me. I trusted Josh with every ounce of my soul and he did not let me down by far one of the best divorce attorneys in the Dallas Fort Worth Metro.
